Re: How to handle long links that do not wrap around in Yahoo groups.

Maybe I'll actually get THIS post right...

It seems that this long link problem can be solved for those of us who download group 
mail into our email programs for reading offline. The poster simply encloses the long link 
in angle brackets. Like so:

<your super long link goes here blah blah blah etc etc>

However, if the reader chooses to read group mail through the Yahoo website interface 
rather than downloading into an emailer, this apparently doesn't work and you'll still have 
to copy and paste the sections of the link.

Now, back to work...

Kind regards.
